1982 Porsche 928 Euro, 5 Speed Manual W/ Limited Slip Dif (lsd) on 2040-cars
Frederick, Maryland, United States
1982 Porsche 928 Euro S VIN: WP0ZZZ92ZCS841199 (Ebay does not allow entry of European, pre-standardized (gray market) VIN numbers. The wife says its time to clear out some space in the garage so it looks like the 928 has to go, I bought this in 2005 and drove it until 2008 when I started pulling the dash and pod out to have them recovered or replaced also was going to replace the timing belt and water pump but after pulling the covers off and finding the belt in fine shape I decided to wait.......well time went by and priorities changed and the dash didn't get done. I do have a decent dash and pod with covers on them that will go with the car as well, no wires were cut and and the instrument cluster will just plug back in. The car is very clean inside and out (aside form the dash), there are no tears in any of the seats, the door panel leather is shrinking a bit and pulling away from the backing, the center console, carpet and and large rear inside corner panels were replaced and are in great shape, the wheels are 18" BW Motorsports and are very clean, it has a Momo steering wheel (Porsche crest horn button included but not shown). So it's been sitting since 08' and will need a new battery, a fuel system flush, tires and I would recommend a timing belt/ water pump replacement just due to age, with this it should run fine as it did when put away, It has MSDS headers and I had a completely new custom exhaust installed from the headers to the tailpipe, it sounds awesome. I wish I could foresee the little time needed to put it back on the road but I can't right now and we have too many other projects already. |

VW close to decision on selling Bugatti to Rimac
Sun, Feb 21 2021FRANKFURT — Electric hypercar maker Rimac Automobili and Volkswagen's supercar brand Bugatti are a good technological fit, Porsche's CEO told German weekly Automobilwoche, fueling hopes that a deal between the two could happen soon. British automotive magazine Car last year reported that Volkswagen was on the verge of selling Bugatti to Rimac Automobili, citing sources. In exchange, Porsche, also owned by Volkswagen, would raise the 15.5% stake it owns in Rimac, founded by Croatian entrepreneur Mate Rimac, Car said. "At the moment there are intense deliberations on how Bugatti can be developed in the best possible way. Rimac could play a role here because the brands are a good technological fit," Porsche CEO Oliver Blume said. "There are various scenarios with different structures. I believe that the issue will be decided by the group in the first half of the year," said Blume, who also sits on the management board of parent Volkswagen. Rimac has developed an electric supercar platform, which he supplies to other carmakers, including Pininfarina. Blume also confirmed higher savings targets for Porsche, saying the carmaker plans to support results by 10 billion euros ($12.1 billion) of cost cuts by 2025, up from 6 billion previously.

Roger Rodas' widow suing Porsche over Carrera GT crash
Tue, 13 May 2014
Investigations undertaken by local law enforcement may have vindicated Porsche from any wrongdoing in the crash that killed actor Paul Walker and racing driver Roger Rodas last year, but the latter's widow is apparently not convinced. According to emerging reports, Kristine Rodas has filed a lawsuit seeking unspecified damages from Porsche Cars North America.
In her suit filed with the Los Angeles Superior Court, Rodas' attorney Mark Geragos reportedly disputes the findings of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, which asserted that the vehicle was traveling at an unsafe speed of 90 miles per hour on city streets, identifying the speed as the cause of the accident. Instead the lawsuit claims that the vehicle was only going 55 mph and that the cause of the crash was improper equipment - namely a faulty right rear suspension and the lack of a crash cage and proper fuel tank.
'Faster. Farther.' dives into the history of Porsche racing tech
Wed, 07 Aug 2013No doubt, Porsche has produced some of the best endurance racecars around, such as the turbocharged, slant-nose 935 of the 1970s and the ground-effects-enhanced 956 and 962 of the 1980s. But the company's most famous racecar, its first overall winner at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, was the 917.
The 917 embodied many of Porsche's technological achievements up to that point, such as the company's first 12- and 16-cylinder engines (the flat-16 was never used in competition), fiberglass bodies that implemented early aerodynamic practices and the use of new, exotic materials, such as magnesium and titanium.
The racecar was commissioned by the head of Porsche Motorsports, Ferdinand Piëch, to win overall at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1970, after he realized a loophole in the rules that allowed cars to compete with engines up to five liters in the Sport category if they were also production models. Piëch saw opportunity: the top prototype class was restricted to three liters; the production minimum to compete in Sport was 25 cars. And so, with much effort, Porsche assembled 25 "production" 4.5-liter 917s and had them parked in a neat line for the race inspectors to verify their legitimacy. It didn't take long before people realized the new Porsches were much faster than the prototype racers, with a top speed approaching 250 miles per hour.
